I've killed about 10 dragons but I only have 2 shouts that work and I have bots and pieces of six others. Are the dragon souls saving up for when I have all three parts of a new shout or are they just gone now?

Welcome to Gaming! There are already several questions on the site about dragon souls in Skyrim; give me a minute and I will link the most appropriate one, if I can find it.

@Hackworth, thanks, that's it. GamerJ13, Stack Exchange sites work best when we have a single question that covers a particular topic, so I'm voting to close this as a duplicate because there is an existing question that should cover your situation.

Welcome mate. Thos shouts make you pretty wicked when you start building them up. I am missing three shout bits ...but have got a lot more than that in dragon souls. Dont make much sense to me that. Anyways - have fun here :)
